Fiziksel açıklama
Plain weave cotton, probably hand woven, embroidered with silk in straight stitches with pulled thread work and needleweaving; whitework. This is largely undecorated except for a 4 cm wide border around the four sides, a central star medallion and 4 corner botehs with 2 other botehs in the centre of the two long sides. There is one selvedge. The border is very fine with various narrow bands of straight stitches either side of three very fine needlewoven bands. The corner junctions have been skillfully but not perfectly aligned. The central medallion is an 8-pointed star of similar straight stitched bands arranged in diagonal strips for the points, and as a series of squares for the main body. No pulled thread work or needleweaving here or in the 6 inward pointing botehs. The decorative stitching is in chevrons. Cotton thread: Z-spun Embroidery Thread: white silk, 2S
